Chapter 140 【139】Influence

It was probably because they were stimulated by Minato Namikaze, or because the old people were unwilling to be compared by two outstanding young people in a row.

After Minato completed his [First Answer], all the jounin who participated in the sword selection trial vigorously competed with each other, gathered under the wooden stakes and held their respective handles.

However, if you can't do it, you can't do it.

After a whole day of 'sword selection trial', only fourteen of the sixty-three Konoha elites completed the process of 'drawing the sword'.

As for Minato-san, who finished "drawing the sword" in one breath, he was the only one to "begin to unravel" it.

The Jonin who didn't take this trial seriously at first were all shocked by the extraordinary idea contained in this small [Shallow Strike].

Fortunately, Aida Masaki had anticipated this result from the beginning and generously stated that everyone could go home and conduct research on their own after completing the registration.

However, since the natural energy contained in [Shallow Strike] will all evaporate after ten days, it must be returned before this time limit.

The steps are as simple as borrowing a book from the library.

With the permission of the original creator, everyone is naturally happy to do so.

After completing the whole day's experiment, everyone dispersed.

With the promotion of caring people and the fuel of the early public opinion storm, the situation on the day of the 'Sword Selection Trial' quickly spread throughout the entire Konoha Ninja Village.

Sarutobi's mansion, study.

Wearing only ordinary home clothes, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat cross-legged in front of a short table, placing the [Shallow Fight] horizontally on his knees and closing his eyes tightly.

Spiritual energy and life energy have reached a high degree of balance in this meditation.

He carefully tested the power within the wooden sword.

That's right.

After the sword selection test was over and all the testers had dispersed, he deliberately guided and asked Xiang Tian to "take the initiative" to hand over a sword to the village in the name of inspection.

With Aida's high emotional intelligence, he would naturally not lose the old man's face in a formal occasion. There was no such thing as a choice.

It can be said to be very wise.

However, since Minato Namikaze was in front of him that day, Hiruzen Sarutobi would not rush into training in front of others like the young people present.

If there is no movement after trying for a long time, does that mean that he, the Hokage, is not very good at this aspect?

How can this work!

Therefore, the Third Generation, who pretended not to care all the way, did not start practicing 'sword Zen' until he returned home.

"."

"call!"

He opened his eyes again,

His brows were furrowed.

As if hearing his breathing, Sarutobi Biwako entered the study room with a pot of hot tea. He gently placed the teapot and teacup on the low table and said calmly:

"Haven't you studied it thoroughly yet?"

"It's almost dawn."

"Why don't you go to bed early? Don't you have business this afternoon?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his sword and rubbed his brow gently.

Before I knew it, the whole night passed.

But he still couldn't even complete the most basic resonance of yin and yang.

He's really not good at this.

Seeing that the tea in the pot was still warm, Sarutobi Hiruzen poured himself a cup and said with a wry smile:

"Probably, this is a new generation replacing the old ones."

"Maybe we are really old."

“What a pity”

Having said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice paused slightly.

Lake Biwa didn't ask any more questions.

For power creatures, life is like this.

Even when facing the people closest to them in their lives, they still say many things they don't mean and remain silent.

As the Hokage's wife, Lake Biwa has long been used to it.

In the past, she probably wouldn't have said much in this regard.

However, seeing Hiruzen's exhausted appearance but still holding on, she finally couldn't hold it back and whispered:

"If you're so tired, why can't you quit?"

"We are almost fifty."

"How many more years can I have in this life?"

"."

As if he was stunned for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand holding the teacup couldn't help but paused, freezing in mid-air.

He looked down at the mirror reflected in the tea cup.

It seemed like I remembered something.

His originally tired eyes gradually showed a bit of uncontrollable coldness.

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his tea cup and said calmly:

"The teacher once said it when he was alive."

"Konoha is the village of Konoha people."

"not to mention"

When he said this, his voice seemed to be a little deeper, with a sigh-like tone, and he laughed at himself: "Sitting in this position, can I just retreat if I want to?"

"Besides, there are so many unfinished things."

At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped continuing and just drank tea silently.

Even voluntarily quitting is so difficult.

Not to mention, he doesn't want to quit yet.

For a Hokage like him who personally led the village to win the Second Ninja War, even though Sarutobi Hiruzen knew in his heart that he could win, all because of the rich family fortune left by the teacher's generation, in his heart

He must also have his own pride.

This can already be seen from the fact that some people have started bragging about him as the 'Strongest Hokage'.

Maybe bragging is a spontaneous behavior of the people below.

But for the superiors,

The default is OK.

After all, before losing to the point of losing everything,

Mediocre people cannot come from the heart and are deeply aware of their own incompetence.

Yes.

Under the name of 'Hokage', Sarutobi Hiruzen deliberately boasted many names such as 'The Strongest Hokage', 'Ninja Hero', 'Doctor of Ninjutsu', etc. for many interested people.

Undoubtedly a mediocre person.

It's just that most people who live in the present and have no historical perspective don't think so.

So does he himself.

at the same time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not the only one whose heart strings were touched by events such as the 'Zanpakuto' and the 'Sword Selection Trial'.

Many power-hungry ninjas and ninja clans have been discussing this topic all night long.

Among them, the one that received the most and most important descriptions was undoubtedly Namikaze Minato's lethality on the spot after completing the [First Solution].

Space cutting.

Muji Ninjutsu.

All kinds of things.

Each one of these, every sentence, kept tugging at everyone's heartstrings.

"Boom!"

His fist hit the wooden floor hard.

In the underground darkroom of Nanga River surrounded by candles, Uchiha's eyes turned red for a moment with a red and white fan behind him, and his voice was filled with anger:

"It's just like a white-eyed wolf that's not familiar with it!"

"Why didn't that kid report to us before conducting the public experiment!?"

"It's fine now, the whole village knows!"

"What does Aida Masaki want to do?"

Hearing the furious speech of this representative of the hawk faction in the clan, many hawk faction Uchiha ninjas sitting behind him also began to shout and shout:

"That's right! So much capital dividends are thrown into the water every year!"

"If it weren't for our Uchiha's investment, would Aida Masaki have the identity and status he has now?!"

"If you ask me, he should take back his share of the chakra breeding factory! Let's see what he uses for research."

"Damn it! Most of the people who got [Shallow Fight] this time are people from the Hokage family. Did Aida Masaki make some deal with the village?"

"In my opinion, Uchiha Shinya should bear considerable supervision responsibility in this incident!"

"That's it! What do you think of this man?"

As the clan leader, Takashi Uchiha was at the front. Facing the crowd and listening to the complaints of the hawk ninjas, he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai without saying a word.

Although the Uchiha ninjas sitting on the other side representing the dove faction did not speak, they were actually completely dissatisfied with Aida Masaki's unauthorized action this time.

Strengthening the enemy is undoubtedly equivalent to weakening oneself.

With the friction between the Hokage clan and the Ninja clan now in full swing, how can they tolerate this kind of grievance?

Doves only use softer methods to achieve the goals of benefiting the clan, and are not traitors to the ninja clan.

However, these people ignored one small thing.

"boom--!!!"

Almost at the moment when the intensive sound of crusade fell, a sudden burst of wild chakra suddenly swept through the entire secret room. The extremely tearing wind pressure completely suppressed the surrounding candles, leaving only a faint spark.

All the Uchiha ninjas present felt as if a huge boulder had been pressed against their chests, and even their spirits were blank for a moment under the violent impact of Yin Escape Chakra.

In the dark space of the secret room, the sound suddenly stopped.

"Crunch."

Uchiha Shinya slowly stood up from the front position, turned his head and looked at all the jounin present.

The pupils in the eye sockets turned into a pair of scarlet three-magatama Sharingan at some point.

The cold chakra filled with murderous intent inspired many people here to instinctively open their Sharingan.

However, there is also a gap in quality and situation between Sharingan and Sharingan.

Uchiha Shinya, who already has excellent ninja talent and was blessed with [Return of Life] by Aida Masaki, now has a total amount of chakra that can even reach 2 or even 3 cards or more.

Just turning around and looking at it brings a strong sense of oppression that no one can match.

The people who had been noisy just now all shut their mouths.

Uchiha Shinya stood there with a wooden sword on his waist, his expression was calm, and his voice seemed to be hiding a knife, cold and clear:

"You guys, who only know how to suck blood from the family, will only actively jump out at this time."

"You refused to invest in the early stage, and you cut the meat the most in the later stage. It's no wonder that the Uchiha clan and the Neko Ninja Village have not been able to develop after decades of cooperation."

"It's really a shame to sit in the same room with rats like you."

"I don't know which wise man came up with the term 'withdrawal of dividends' just now. Is it possible that you invented the gourmet cells? Or did you participate in the early scientific research process?"

"Hinata can't afford some land, resources and money, or is the Third Hokage so poor that he has to sell his pants? Is it just you guys?"

"Stupid without knowing it."

The tone that came out of the girl's mouth was so bland that it contained almost no emotion, but it could inflict the greatest psychological damage to people.

The most important thing is that the person who said such words happened to be Uchiha Shinya, who seemed to be poor in words on weekdays, and what he said was the truth that was not easy to refute.

How hurtful is that?

Didn’t everyone just run away because they saw that you couldn’t speak?

How can you fight back?

Moreover, the elders just want to use this incident to cut some flesh off that guy Aida Masaki, why do you still slap others in the face in front of them?

That's too much!

Sure enough, before Miss Shinya finished speaking, she saw a hawkish middle-aged ninja behind Uchiha Setsuna instantly broke through the defense. He opened a pair of three magatama sharingan eyes and said angrily:

"How dare you, a mere junior, insult me?!"

Uchiha Takashi frowned and was about to speak to stop him.

As a result, Shinya opened his pair of three magatama sharingan eyes and glanced in the direction of the other party.

Magical shackle technique!

"thump."

They only met each other once, and the menacing middle-aged ninja didn't even say a word and rushed to the street in an instant.

In an instant, the public opinion within the clan, which was about to boil just a moment ago, fell silent again.

"."

Most of the people present were Uchiha jounin. There were only a few dozen people in total, and most of them were familiar with each other.

The one who had just been put there was not considered weak even if he walked through the whole room several times, but in front of Uchiha Shinya, he did not even pass by.

Although everyone knew that this genius in the clan had very outstanding qualifications and was one of the several 'candidates' that Lord Long personally brought with him, this was the first time for most of them to witness her fight at close range.

But, for ninjas.

Strength is always the heaviest bargaining chip.

"cough."

"Shinya!"

It wasn't until the public opinion below subsided and the two sides seemed to have fallen into a strange stalemate that Uchiha Takashi intervened as a 'mediator' and said in a low voice:

"It's a bit too much."

"yes."

Uchiha Shinya knelt back down and bowed slightly in the direction of the first seat, always accurately controlling the degree of 'establishing authority'.

It wasn't until this seemingly funny scene was revealed that Uchiha Takashi calmly said:

"Anyway, after you go back, you should also discuss it with that boy Jiang Hui and let more people in the clan try it."

"After all, you are a family!"

Faced with the ridicule of the patriarch, the girl who was always shy in front of Aida Masaki in the past did not show any flaws at this moment. She was as stable as a mountain and admitted openly:

"yes."

"I will discuss it with him when I get back."

His tone was so calm, as if he had already firmly grasped the position of the main palace.

When everyone present heard this, they looked at the wooden sword on the girl's waist, and most of them felt a little relieved.

Only Uchiha Shinya, who lowered his eyes, realized,

A small crack has been opened between the family and Aida Masaki.

Bustling and bustling, good things come and good things go.

It seems that we need to persuade him to take precautions earlier.

An underground laboratory.

Orochimaru also held a shallow sword in his hand.

However, compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi who has made no progress, he has now advanced his progress to the level of 'resonance'.

As long as I can push a little behind here,

Orochimaru can enter Namifeng Minato and immediately develop his own [First Interpretation].

However, he did not do this.

But as if he sensed something, he stopped suddenly at this critical moment.

He stretched out his pale palm and gently slid it over the wooden texture of the surface, feeling every trace of Yang Escape Chakra hidden in it, and sighed in a low voice:

"Is this an artificially created simple Yin-Yang Escape?"

"This is truly a genius idea."

"It's like a simple path that points directly to the truth of the world."

"only"

Orochimaru sighed, raised his head, looked at the door of the laboratory, and asked:

"Why don't you keep this achievement to yourself?"

"Aida-kun."

Hearing this, Aida Masaki slowly walked out of the shadows, with that iconic gentle smile on his face:

“What’s the point of just one or two achievements?”

"Relatively speaking, using this method to step by step change people's inherent concepts of this world and this era is what I want to accomplish."

"Lord Orochimaru."

"What do you think of my work?"

Orochimaru stood there and couldn't help but show a relaxed smile and said happily:

"Facing a genius like you, I think anyone would probably feel ashamed."

"Is it just changing the concept of the times?"

"What Aida-kun wants to do shouldn't have anything to do with me, right?"

"No."

"It's closely related."

While retorting, Aida Masaki approached slowly, shook his head slightly and asked, "Lord Orochimaru, can you still remember the last meeting between us?"

Orochimaru first thought of something, then his golden snake eyes narrowed slightly, and the tip of his smooth tongue subconsciously licked the corners of his lips. A dangerous killing intent appeared in his eyes, and his tone suddenly changed:

"What do you want to say?"

Aida Masaki seemed not to notice the change in his attitude at all, and said in a calm voice:

"If you have the support of the third generation of adults and the support of other people behind you."

"Excuse me, who are you now?"

"Are you still interested in becoming Hokage?"
